Pros

Loved working for this company, I started in Wyoming and worked in Utah. Great benefits like paying for college. You will meet great people have fun at work, and it will keep you in shap. Weekly paychecks. In Wyoming, a satellite location is the best cushy environment to work in because low volume so less intense. Pays above average, especially for around 4 hours of work, and they are willing to let you work 2 shifts a day if you want to try to get a little extra cash.

Cons

Very intense working conditions, your personal safety is an issue. Management beats you to crap by forcing you to work harder and faster by dumbing a million packages at you in your trailer. This is how it is working at a hub like in Utah. They tell you, you can load one shift and unload the next shift, but they trick you into loading because loading is more intense than unloading and people call out. Difference is taking down package walls or building them? Just keep in mind, a million packages per min. If you miss too much work they will want to dumb you. It's hard work. For a teenager who needs a butt kicking of the real world should work here, good life lessons. You will go home with lots of pain in your body, so cancel that gym membership. Some days the wait between shifts can be long, because of trucking delays, but if you want that extra cash, better wait it out, plus good rest before another intense shift. There is no clocks so you feel your in a eternal hell. After work hard for what feels like 2 hours but you go look at the time clock it was 5 mins, you may want to cry.

Pros

Beat the traffic to and from work. You get a combination of active work walking around the warehouse and office work at a computer.

Cons

When express and ground merged, some of the admins decided they weren't going to do any of the new express tasks that needed to be done. Management either didn't seem to notice or did not care as they never intervened or addressed this disparity. A coworker with my same job title was in the air conditioned office all day, working on tasks that were not a priority while I was getting slammed with work that was required for my position. If that is what management wanted, that is fine. But it was never addressed to the team. Management doesn't address or care about these things as long as someone does it.
